They called her ‘The First Lady Of Immediate’ and she was hailed as the darling of the London music scene in the Swinging Sixties. Pat ‘P.P.’ Arnold first arrived in the UK with the Ike & Tina Turner Revue in 1966 and the young American backing singer so enjoyed her visit that she decided to stay on and launch a solo career. She was signed to Andrew Oldham’s Immediate Records and the result was a series of superb recordings, now presented on this Repertoire CD compilation. P.P. Arnold is blessed with a powerful and soulful voice, well suited to interpreting dramatic songs. A great example is her treatment of ‘The First Cut Is The Deepest’ by Cat Stevens - among eight tracks culled from the A and B-sides of singles released during 1967. A further three items are taken from her debut album ‘The First Lady Of Immediate’.
